Product Information

Following the enormous success of THE STING, George Roy Hill finally had the freedom to make this film about the romance of aviation, which had been a cherished project of his for years. It stars Robert Redford as Waldo Pepper, a former WWI pilot who, in 1926, is barnstorming across the country in a Curtiss JN-4 biplane, doing stunts for a living. He exaggerates his wartime heroics, as much to fulfill his own fantasies as to drum up business, claiming to have engaged in a dogfight with ace German fighter pilot Ernst Kessler (Bo Brundin). His closest friend, Ezra Stiles, is working on the design of a monoplane that can perform the perilous outside loop, which Pepper intends to be the first to execute. With public interest in stunt flying on the downslide, the pilot is forced to partner with good-natured former competitor Axel Olsson (Bo Svenson). But things still remain tough for the pilots, leading them to join a flying circus. When tragedy strikes, Pepper must answer to aviation authorities. The film, well executed on every level, features extraordinary stunt flying, mixing slapstick with a darker drama about the crippling effect of adolescent fantasy.

Too late for Glory, to old for change
As a WWI fighter pilot Waldo Pepper (Robert Redford) thought he could make a difference the war ended too soon. Waldo went on to be a great Barnstormer but with the world of Aviation changing around him Waldo pepper was unable to change.

Waldo Pepper
This is an older movie with a great cast and is a clean movie the whole family can watch. It has its satire without going overboard. To me, it is an excellent movie and I was glad to find it on DVD.

Redford plays a very good role.
Very entertaining with some exciting flying but could have used more flying scenes. Nice story with some history.

It was just fine.
As a pilot and admirer of old planes, I really enjoyed watching it. Although I saw it many years ago, I forgot how enjoyable it was. I enjoyed it even more this time around.

It was not "full screen"
This "copy" of an old VHS tape was "formatted to fit your screen" cutting the edges off, making it useless for new format.
